Analyst

For over a century, The King’s Fund has worked to improve people’s health and care. We tackle the thorniest questions facing our health and care system, and in turn society. We do this through our research, analysis and insight; leadership and organisational development with health and care leaders; convening and events; and partnering with others. With bold thinking for better health, we’re on a mission to inspire hope and confidence that we can create a world where everyone lives a healthy life.

This role sits within the policy team, which influences change in health and care policy and practice. It does this by conducting independent research and producing thought-leadership on health and care issues, in-line with our new strategy. It also aims to make sense of the health and care system and explain it to a range of audiences.

You will be working alongside colleagues to provide answers to pressing policy questions, primarily using quantitative data. As an analyst, you will be responsible for maintaining high standards of quality for our quantitative analysis. You will also provide quantitative advice to colleagues, for example on research design, statistics and data visualisation.

This role will give you an exciting opportunity to share research findings and analytical work with our well-established audiences, who look to The King’s Fund for insightful and accessible outputs. You will be working alongside the communications team to produce written content and present findings to different audiences, including system leaders, frontline staff and journalists.

To join us, you will need a degree, or equivalent experience, in quantitative analysis. This should include an understanding of quantitative research methods and the skills to manipulate and analyse data. You will also need a passion for improving health and care for all, and a willingness to learn about health and care policy.

Here at the Fund, we actively encourage applicants from underrepresented backgrounds, people from Black and ethnic minority backgrounds, those with disabilities and from the LGBT+ community. We want people to bring their unique blend of experiences, backgrounds, perspectives and knowledge as we recognise that diversity makes us stronger.

Additionally, if you would find it helpful to have a short, informal conversation before applying for the role, please contact Danielle Jefferies, Senior analyst: recruitment@kingsfund.org.uk.
